Efficiency-A Pump Engineering Nemesis?

McGuire, J. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)

Higher pump efficiency, a most worthy objective, is being pursued with increasing vigour as energy costs rise. There are signs, however, that the pursuit occasionally loses its perspective. To try to eliminate ...
An Open Letter To The Pump Industry

Karassik, Igor J.; McGuire, J. T. (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)

Every industrial process which underlies our modern civilization involves the transfer of liquids from one level of pressure or static energy to another level, and, as a result, pumps have become an essential part of all ...
Variable Frequency Pump Drives

Karassik, I. J.; Petraccaro, L. L.; McGuire, J. T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)

Variable frequency drive represents a major milestone in the evolution of centrifugal pumps and their application. The fundamentals of variable speed centrifugal pump operation are reviewed, then the advantages and ...
